Enrico Rava Quintet: Tribe

Read "Tribe" reviewed by Ian Patterson


Trumpeter Enrico Rava has enjoyed a sustained late-career, creative high since returning to ECM with Easy Living (ECM, 2004) after an absence of 20 years. With a largely new and exciting lineup, Tribe balances new compositions with reworked older material, all imbued with Rava's trademark lyricism, embracing warmth and melodic strength.

Read "Tribe" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

Enrico Rava Quintet: The Words and the Days

Read "The Words and the Days" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Ci sono musicisti che hanno ormai il sapore dei classici. Enrico Rava è uno di questi. Quando metti nel lettore un suo CD, sai già cosa ti puoi aspettare. Ma questo, lungi dal creare nell'ascoltatore il fenomeno del déjà-vu, lo porta immediatamente in una “zona di conforto”. Lo porta dentro una delicata melodia, con un suono ...
